"Gameloft is actively managing its production organization and is refocusing on its most efficient and experienced creation centers in order to adapt to rapidly changing market conditions and to grow its revenues faster and more profitably."

According to its own corporate site Gameloft is currently hiring for a number of positions at the New York office.

Gameloft had found success with Despicable Me: Minion Rush, but recently lost the lucrative Minions license to Electronic Arts.
